How long would you wait for your meal?

Question

In a restaurant after ordering, if you'd been one of the first customers in and it only started to become a bit busy later on?

How long is too long to wait?

Answer 1

i wouldnt wait longer than 35 mins.

Answer 2

I wouldnt want to wait any longer than 20 minutes for a meal if it is a restaurant that serves fresh food. You have to wait for the meal to be prepared, but 1 hour is much too long!

Answer 3

to long to wait would probably be about 45 minutes to an hour  if you still haven't gotten your meal try to get the waiters attention or ask to speak to a manager

Answer 4

Twenty -twentyfive minutes is all i am waiting any longer than that and i will go home and cook it myself

Answer 5

It depends on the type of restaurant, how busy they are, and what I ordered.  If I have good company with me, it never seems to be as long of a wait as when you are by yourself.  If the appetizer and salad have come and given me something to eat before the main course, one would need to take that into consideration, too.  If it is breakfast, then around 20 minutes should be ample time to prepare and serve.  For dinner, I would allow more time considering the pre-meal items that I may be getting like the salad, etc.

Answer 6

i would wait for my food for an hour and if i still have not gotten my food i would politely ask a waiter/waitress about my food.

Answer 7

25-45

Answer 8

more than 10 minutes and i'm out.  i'm a hog and its too much stress waiting for food.

Answer 9

After an hour, I would ask where my food is. I would not leave because I'd have to go to another restaurant and probably wait another half an hour.. maximum I've waited is two hours, I complained to the management. 45 minutes max is suitable to me.

Answer 10

i would probably wait about 45 minutes before i started asking about. I was also take into consideration what i ordered. if i ordered a well done steak, it would take longer than a medium rare steak. it just depends.
